Particle Swarm Optimization

This is the first book devoted entirely to Particle Swarm
Optimization (PSO), which is a non-specific algorithm, similar to
evolutionary algorithms, such as taboo search and ant colonies.

Since its original development in 1995, PSO has mainly been
applied to continuous-discrete heterogeneous strongly non-linear
numerical optimization and it is thus used almost everywhere in the
world. Its convergence rate also makes it a preferred tool in
dynamic optimization.

Maurice Clerc is recognized as one of the foremost PSO specialists in the world. A former France Telecom Research and Development engineer, he maintains his research activities as a consultant for the XPS (eXtended Particle Swarm) project.
